Welcome to Southern California cousins. The time is rapidly approaching. Yes, the family reunion is finally moving west of the Rockies. We are preparing many exciting events and activities for you including trips to the Walk of Fame, Hollywood Sign, Beverly Hills, Sunset Strip, L.A. Live and the California African American Museum among other sites and places. Not only will you have a meal catered by those who cater to the Stars but you will experience a taco meal like those served from the famous Taco Trucks of Southern California. For those of you who would like to experience more of Southern California such as Disneyland, Universal Studios and the beaches, let us know by 11/17/2011 and we may be able to extend our hotel group rate for additional days.
